MX has been developed very dramatically by Mark Crossley:

# Even more dramatic changes to the MX configuration have been happening since 3.8.0, with the biggest changes at 3.9.2, 3.10.0, and 3.12.0; therefore, <big>the decision was taken to abandon maintaining the page previously called "Cumulus.ini", and start again with a brand new empty page!</big>

All the pages, previously called "Cumulus.ini", can be found from the owning [[:Category:Configuration Files|category]].  The original page was preserved at [[Cumulus.ini_(preserving_history)]] so look there for its editing history.  That page also expands on the above summary of why that old page was replaced by this new page.

You will also note that this page does not cover all settings in detail, and find some links to further pages within some sections below
 
==Need to install MX 3.12.0 ==
 
If you are using Cumulus 1 or a release of MX earlier than 3.12.0, be aware that the content of "Cumulus.ini" is totally different to the file for later MX releases. (It might have been better had the file been given a new name in release 3.12.0).
 
The way the developer decided to implement it, is that when somebody installs release 3.12.0, any existing "Cumulus.ini" file is renamed, and a new "Cumulus.ini" file is created from scratch, and from then onwards all changes apply to the new file. As 3.12.0 is the only release that can create the replacement file, it is highly recommended that anybody currently using an older release, downloads 3.12.0 from [https://github.com/cumulusmx/CumulusMX/releases/download/b3141/CumulusMXDist3141.zip here] and runs that release for a while before upgrading to the latest release [https://github.com/cumulusmx/CumulusMX here].

== Simplifications ==


Using the MX configuration is simpler that that used by the legacy software.  Since MX requires far more parameters as it has far more optional functionality, the developer had to devise a way to make it easier for those using MX to quickly assign the settings that might be best for those new to Cumulus to get the software working without needing to understand all the settings.  
The MX configuration is very different to that used by the legacy software.  MX has far more optional functionality than the legacy software, therefore MX requires far more parameters to tailor all these functionality options.


The ongoing development of MX is focused on making configuration even simpler, by revising the pages for the setting of all parameters, and improving the labels/grouping.
The file is read into Internal Variables as Cumulus starts, and those variables are written back into the file when any settings are changed.
 
In the MX releases covered by this Wiki page, almost all settings are edited from a number of web pages for settings included in the local web interface.
 
To make it easier for the Cumulus MX user, the developer had to devise a way to make it easier to quickly assign the settings that might be best for those new to Cumulus to get the software working without needing to understand all the settings. This is achieved by introducing some "master" settings, these both determine which dependent settings are displayed, and what default values those dependent settings take.  So a novice just has to get the "master" settings right and they then achieve a typical way of using that functionality! For those who are slightly more expert, full flexibility is available by adjusting the majority of dependent settings to what is required for more specialised requirements.
 
The ongoing development of MX is focused on making configuration even simpler, by revising the pages for the setting of all parameters, and improving the labels/grouping. By moving away from legacy software terminology and the parameters it needed; the developer has started introducing parameters and labelling that fits the MX design.


It may be worth remembering why the legacy software made life complicated:

The file is divided into "File sections" (see terminology definitions below), each File section name is on a separate line (with no other content) and enclosed in square brackets (e.g. [Station]). These File sections can appear in any order, by default new File sections are appended after all previous File sections, but if you prefer the File sections in another order, MX can still find them, although it may spend more time searching!

This Wiki page does not explain how to start using MX, please see [[MX on Linux]], [[MX on Windows OS]], and [[MX Administrative Interface]] as appropriate.
 
The key fact relevant here is that no Cumulus release distribution contains a '''Cumulus.ini''' file. So when you first use the software,  you will need to use the [[MX_Administrative_Interface#Changing_Settings|admin interface]] to enter all settings (some have defaults that might be right for you) as described later in this page, and that will lead to creation of the main configuration file.
 
If you later upgrade to a newer MX build, as that release distribution does not contain a "Cumulus.ini", you cannot lose your settings entered in your existing file. However, be aware that a new release may remove some settings, and add new settings, hopefully the release announcement will give specific details. Otherwise, you will need to work through all the Settings Pages, and all the "MX Sections" (see Terminolgy below)
 
Furthermore, at the end of each (meteorological) day, MX creates a back-up in the [[Backup folder|backup/daily/TIME_NAME sub- folder]].  The TIME_NAME is constructed from a string of digits representing the date and time the directory was created (without any punctuation) e.g. 20060519090000. In that folder, recent MX releases, include a copy of the current "Cumulus.ini" file.

Whenever MX is restarted, it reads the latest ''Cumulus.ini''  and if it exists [[Strings.ini|strings.ini]] (briefly mentioned below); from these one (or two) file(s), it learns the configuration that you want it to use.  
Whenever MX is restarted, it reads the latest ''Cumulus.ini''  and if it exists [[Strings.ini|strings.ini]] (briefly mentioned below); from these one (or two) file(s), it learns the configuration that you want it to use.  
For completeness I mention here, configuration information for MX can also be stored in an optional file [[strings.ini]], that is used to identify how various standard output phrases are to be modified to suit you.


Essentially, MX reads the whole file, for each attribute part of a parameter in the file, there is a variable stored within the MX code. So the value part of each parameter is assigned to the respective variable. Hence MX will not permit any duplicates for any parameter.  If MX finds a parameter it does not understand, it ignores that parameter.

What MX finds in your "Cumulus.ini" does of course determine what you see when you open any of the Settings pages, in the admin interface.  This is because the displaying of some settings is dependent on another setting.

The MX software offers much functionality and flexibility.  Consequently, it has an extensive set of configuration settings, fortunately apart from the initial settings of model and units (see next sub-section), recent releases have simplified many of the settings for optional features by providing particular selections to affect a whole range of others (for predicted uses), instead of forcing you to individually work through every individual setting.

==First run of MX==
<big>Please see [[First Run of MX]] for how to set up settings when you first use MX.</big>


# If you start Cumulus MX without a configuration file, and you have a screen attached so you can see the output from the engine, it will show this: [[File:MX first start.PNG]]
==What happens if I upgrade MX?==
# As you can see, it is running, but it does not know what station type, so it cannot connect to it, and will not do anything more.
 
# At this stage, MX creates a very basic Cumulus.ini with the default settings (shown below).
If you upgrade to a newer MX build, as that release distribution does not contain a "Cumulus.ini", you cannot lose your settings entered in your existing file. However, be aware that a new release may remove some settings, and add new settings, hopefully the release announcement will give specific details. Otherwise, you will need to work through all the Settings Pages, and all the "MX Sections" (see Terminolgy above)
#Open the [[MX Administrative Interface|admin interface]], and select the station settings if necessary: [[File:MX_station_settings.png|800px|center]]
# At the very minimum, you must select a station type and units (as shown in image here)
# Optionally, move down the page, entering more settings,
#* The settings that are displayed to you vary depending on the station type you have selected (and the particular MX release), so there is not a screenshot to show you the other settings for your station type.
# Optionally, move to other settings pages accessed from the menu seen in the image, these cover the optional functionality of MX, so the pages you need to visit depends on what functionality you wish to use.
# Optionally, use [[Samplestring.ini]] file as a guide to create a [[Strings.ini|strings.ini]] file (look up the cross reference if you want to do this now, but you can leave it to later) where you can tailor a number of texts that Cumulus produces.
#* The advantage of creating your '''strings.ini''' file now, is that it is read when MX starts, and we will shortly restart MX.
# Closing MX is the action that will create the main configuration file.
# MX must be stopped correctly, because it has to do a number of actions after it receives a request to close:
#* If you have a screen attached to the device running the MX engine, you can click in that screen and terminate Cumulus MX by typing '''C''' while holding down the control key (or equivalent if you are using an apple mac).
#* If you are connecting to MX from a remote device, then type into that remote session the control '''C'''.
#* Otherwise do whatever is needed to end the MX executable on your installation.
# Restart Cumulus MX, it will read your new settings (in '''Cumulus.ini''' and the optional '''strings.ini''') on re-starting, it will find the weather station, and start reading the weather data from it. On this first access to your weather station, it will not read any archive data (there is a way to modify [[today.ini]] so it can read what is in the separate logger), but from now (until you stop it) it will read (and from time to time log) the live data while MX remains running.

As a specific example, release 3.11.0 added emailing capability; that requires quite a lot of new parameters to be added to the file.  You could use MX without these new parameters, but the Alarm Settings page would not allow you to click '''Enable''' until you had defined various settings on another Settings page, as well as on this Alarm Settings page.

Despite what it says in the hint on the settings page, leave at default whichever weather station type you use, unless this actually causes you a problem.  The parameter was introduced by Steve Loft.  Davis wind vanes use a potentiometer to measure wind direction so send Cumulus a bearing that can vary continuously between 1 and 360 degrees. Fine Offset wind vanes use magnetic switches that depend on the magnet under the moving part selecting two switches in the fixed part for the vane being exactly in-between compass directions, and selecting one switch for the main 8 directions and slightly away from the main directions; so they have a bias against sending Cumulus the in-between directions.

Since the text that appeared here was added, documenting plans for the future 3.12.0 release, there have been a number of changes, and now a future release (3.20.0) is expected to make more drastic changes.  Therefore the content has been moved to a [[MySqlConnect|new "MySqlConnect" page]] where it is hoped somebody will find it easier to update the content as MX develops.

Despite what it says in the hint on the settings page, leave at default whichever weather station type you use, unless this actually causes you a problem.  The parameter was introduced by Steve Loft.  Davis wind vanes use a potentiometer to measure wind direction so send Cumulus a bearing that can vary continuously between 1 and 360 degrees. Fine Offset wind vanes use magnetic switches that depend on the magnet under the moving part selecting two switches in the fixed part for the vane being exactly in-between compass directions, and selecting one switch for the main 8 directions and slightly away from the main directions; so they have a bias against sending Cumulus the in-between directions.

=== File transfer and Copy Options controlling transfer of data to default web pages ===

The settings listed in table below changed dramatically at both 3.10.0 and 3.12.0 releases, but they have gradually evolved throughout the development of MX.
 
* File Section is [NOAA]
* The parameters run from ‘’’NOAATempNormJan=’’’ to ‘’’NOAATempNormDec=’’
* There is one box labelled for each month on the settings screens
* All the defaults are (blank)
* What you enter is the mean temperature, long-term averages (say over 10 or 30 years if available) say is expected that month, often taken from local climate statistics, or your own past measurements
 
===Normal Precipitation===

==Optional Third-party Upload Settings==


From 3.12.0, MX can optionally ''either'' '''copy''' files to a [[Your Own Server|web server you host]] ''or'' '''file transfer''' files to a [[Webspace|commercial web server]].


To implement (and customise) this web server functionality, there are many settings as listed alphabetically in this table.  The ''Internet settings'' page simplifies making settings by providing selections that amend multiple settings in a bulk operation:
* Some settings (marked ^ in table) are only displayed if you select '''I want to use the supplied default web site'''.
** For these settings, the "Generate" option is enabled in nearly all (see any qualifier) settings
** If you select "Enable file copy of standard files" (default is disabled) then those settings have their "Copy" option enabled in nearly all (see any qualifier) cases, and their "FTP Transfer" option deselected (instead of defaults shown in table)
** If you deselect "Enable file transfer of standard files" (default is enabled) then those settings have their "Copy" option disabled, and their "FTP Transfer" option enabled in nearly all (see any qualifier) cases (as per defaults shown in table)
* '''The default selections assume you have air quality, and solar, sensors; so you may need to disable some of the defaults the above selections have made'''
* If you don't select '''I want to use the supplied default web site''', then all the settings marked ^ are disabled
** This is what you want if you do not use the MX optional web server functionality
** If you have a customised  web site, you may want to select '''I want to use the supplied default web site'''  to see the settings that would otherwise all be disabled, and then pick any options that would be useful to you.

==Optional Web Server==
| Release 3.12.0
 
| ^
The settings listed here changed dramatically at both 3.10.0 and 3.12.0 releases, but they have gradually evolved throughout the development of MX.
 
FRom 3.12.0, MX can optionally either copy files to a web server you host or file transfer files to a commercial web server.
 
To implement (and customise) this web server functionality, there are many settings as listed alphabetically in this table. The Internet settings page simplifies making settings by providing selections that amend multiple settings in a bulk operation:
* Some settings (marked ^ in table) are only displayed if you select '''I want to use the supplied default web site'''.
** For these settings, the "Generate" option is enabled in nearly all (see any qualifier) settings
** If you select "Enable file copy of standard files" (default is disabled) then those settings have their "Copy" option enabled in nearly all (see any qualifier) cases, and their "FTP Transfer" option deselected (instead of defaults shown in table)
** If you deselect "Enable file transfer of standard files" (default is enabled) then those settings have their "Copy" option disabled, and their "FTP Transfer" option enabled in nearly all (see any qualifier) cases (as per defaults shown in table)
* '''The default selections assume you have air quality, and solar, sensors; so you may need to disable some of the defaults the above selections have made'''
* If you don't select '''I want to use the supplied default web site''', then all the settings marked ^ are disabled
** This is what you want if you do not use the MX optional web server functionality
** If you have a customised  web site, you may want to select '''I want to use the supplied default web site'''  to see the settings that would otherwise all be disabled, and then pick any options that would be useful to you.

==Proxy==
 
This is a continuation of an experimental legacy Cumulus software feature, please see [https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=728 here for request] and see [[Cumulus.ini_(Cumulus_1)#Proxies|here]] for potential content. I have not seen any evidence that this feature ever came out of beta, and nobody has ever commented on its use, so I see no reason to do any further documentation.
 
==Station specific alternatives==
 
A number of settings are shown only for specific station types, and so the following tables are grouped here.
 
Since MX is being developed by someone who uses a Davis station, a lot of "Labels on the Settings Screens" mention "Davis" even if you have selected a different station, because the code was written by copy and paste!
 
=== Solar===
 
Cumulus MX is unable to work out if you have a solar sensor, so these options are always displayed.

A number of settings are shown only for specific station types, and so the following tables are grouped here.
 
Since MX is being developed by someone who uses a Davis station, a lot of "Labels on the Settings Screens" mention "Davis" even if you have selected a different station, because the code was written by copy and paste!


The details in this sub-section need to be checked by someone who uses the relevant hardware.

# The parameter was added for legacy releases, to try to reduce the occurrence of "lock-up" issues.
There are a number of settings in a MX sub-section called "Fine Offset Advanced Options". These are new settings, and have not been documented yet.
# MX uses a different way to interrogate Fine Offset stations, originally ticking this could result in more reads being skipped, than actually processed, potentially updating just a few times a day, so it was best disabled!
 
# The MX code relating to this parameter was rewritten 1n 3.11.0, but the developer labels this as an "attempt", so it may still be best to try to manage without enabling this setting

* Tick (value shown as 1 in Cumulus.ini) then MX will round all the wind speeds it reports to nearest integer
* Tick (value shown as 1 in Cumulus.ini) then Cumulus will round all the wind speeds it reports to nearest integer
* Don't tick (value shown as 0 in Cumulus.ini) then MX will report wind speeds to the precision defined in "WindSpeedDecimals" parameter
* Don't tick (value shown as 0 in Cumulus.ini) then Cumulus will report wind speeds to the precision defined in "WindSpeedDecimals", "WindSpeedAvgDecimals", and "WindRunDecimals", parameters
